'East' from Barks: Samurai Command Tent

I picked up Samurai Battles
a few years ago, and have found painting the miniatures to be somewhat
intimidating! The 'East' theme was the perfect excuse to confront this
demon.

Samurai Battles is a Commands and Colors hex
game variant. The figures are hard plastic 20mm multipiece. Here is my
command stand for the yellow side. I have enhanced the sabot base with
some 1:100 jinmaku curtains from Eureka.

The daimyo's banner is 'artificial', ie it is only there for game purposes rather than historical accuracy.

That is a sweet command piece, Barks!I like the added details of the walls and using a sabot base for the figures.I had a Japanese student help me out with Japanese script for an art project and fully appreciate how difficult it is to write/ draw characters you have no idea of what they mean....let alone paint them on a 20mm banner! ;)
